Eminyakeni engu-40 yomlando wokuba khona kwalo, leli qembu selikhiphe ama-albhamu angama-22, abelokhu enempumelelo kwezohwebo. Futhi kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwezinsuku zakhe, uLemmy waqhubeka engumuntu we-rock and roll.
Isikhathi sokuqala se-Motorhead
Emuva ngawo-1970, uLemmy wayewuthanda kakhulu umculo. Indawo yaseBrithani isivele yazala ama-titans afana ne-Black Sabbath, abagqugquzele amakhulu ezinsizwa ekuzuzeni kwabo siqu. U-Lemmy uphinde waphupha ngomsebenzi wokuba ngumculi we-rock, okwamholela ezingeni leqembu le-psychedelic Hawkwind.
Kodwa uLemmy akazange akwazi ukuhlala lapho isikhathi eside. Le nsizwa yaxoshwa kuleli qembu ngenxa yokusebenzisa kabi izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni, ngenxa yethonya layo lo mculi obengalawuleki.
Ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili, uLemmy wanquma ukwakha iqembu lakhe. Iqembu, lapho ayezobona khona amandla akhe okudala, lalibizwa nge-Motӧrhead. ULemmy wayephupha ngokudlala i-rock and roll engcolile okungekho omunye umuntu ongayifanisa. Uhlu lokuqala lweqembu lwaluhlanganisa: umshayi wezigubhu uLucas Fox kanye nomshayi wesigingci uLarry Wallis.
U-Lemmy uthathe izintambo njengomdlali webhesi nophambili. Ukusebenza kokuqala kukaMotӧrhead okusemthethweni kwenzeka ngo-1975 njengesenzo sokuvula i-Blue Öyster Cult. Ngokushesha, ilungu elisha, u-Phil Taylor, wayesemuva kwekhithi yesigubhu, owahlala eqenjini iminyaka eminingi.
Ngemva kochungechunge lwemidlalo ephumelelayo, iqembu laqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yalo yokuqala. Futhi nakuba i-albhamu ethi On Parole manje isithathwa njengeyakudala, ngesikhathi sokurekhoda irekhodi lanqatshwa ngumphathi. Ukhiphe ukukhishwa kuphela ngemuva kwempumelelo yama-albhamu amabili alandelayo e-Motӧrhead.
Ngokushesha isigingci u-Eddie Clark wajoyina ibhendi, kuyilapho uWallis eshiya ibhendi. Umgogodla weqembu, owawubhekwa "njengegolide", wadalwa. Ngaphambi kuka-Lemmy, u-Clark no-Taylor babengamarekhodi aguqulela unomphela isithombe somculo we-rock wesimanje kubo.
Udumo lukaMotorhead
Naphezu kokwehluleka ukuqopha i-albhamu yokuqala, eyakhululwa eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, uLouie Louie oyedwa waba nempumelelo ethile kuthelevishini.
Abakhiqizi bebengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokunika uMotӧrhead ithuba lesibili. Futhi abaculi bakusebenzise ngokugcwele, bekhipha ingoma eshisa izikhotha ethi Overkill.
Ingoma yaduma, yashintsha abaculi baseBrithani baba yizihlabani zamazwe ngamazwe. I-albhamu yokuqala, ebizwa nangokuthi i-Overkill, yangena ku-UK Top 40, yathatha indawo yama-24 lapho.
Ngemuva kokuthandwa kukaLemmy, kwakhululwa i-albhamu entsha, i-Bomber, eyakhishwa ngo-Okthoba wonyaka ofanayo.
I-albhamu ithathe indawo ye-12 ye-hit parade. Ngemuva kwalokho, abaculi baqhubeke nohambo lwabo lokuqala olugcwele, obeluhambisana nokukhishwa kwala ma-albhamu amabili.

Umculo ka-Motӧrhead awufakanga nje kuphela isigqi esishisayo se-punk rock kune-heavy metal, kodwa futhi namazwi ka-Lemmy anomsindo. U-frontman uphinde wadlala isiginci se-bass esixhunywe ku-amplifier yesiginci sikagesi.
Ngokomculo, ibhendi yadlula ukuvela kwezinhlobo ezimbili zemfashini zama-1980s, i-speed metal ne-thrash metal.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uLammy wayencamela ukuthi umculo wakhe uhlobene nesigaba se-rock and roll, engacabangi ngamagama.
Ukuphakama kokuduma kuka-Motӧrhead kwaba ngo-1980 ngemva kokukhishwa kwe-Ace of Spades eyodwa. Kudlule ukukhishwa kwerekhodi elingaziwa. Ingoma yaba yingoma ephambili emsebenzini kaLemmy, okwenza kwaba nesasasa. Ukwakhiwa kwathatha indawo ehamba phambili kuwo womabili amashadi aseBrithani naseMelika, okufakazela ukuthi impumelelo akumele ilahle umsindo "ongcolile" kanye "nolaka".
I-albhamu, eyakhululwa ngo-Okthoba 1980, yaba enye enethonya kakhulu endaweni yensimbi. I-Ace of Spades manje isiyiklasikhi. Ifakwe cishe kuzo zonke izinhlu zama-albhamu ensimbi ahamba phambili esikhathi sonke.
Eminyakeni emibili eyalandela, ibhendi iqhubekile nesitudiyo esisebenzayo kanye nemisebenzi ebukhoma, ikhipha ukukhishwa okukodwa ngemva kokunye. Enye i-albhamu yakudala kwakuyi-Iron Fist (1982). Ukukhishwa kube yimpumelelo enkulu, kuthathe indawo yesi-6 ezilinganisweni. Kodwa-ke, ngokokuqala ngqa, kwenzeka izinguquko ekwakhiweni kweqembu le-Motӧrhead.
Umshayi wesigingci uClark ushiye iqembu wathathelwa indawo nguBrian Robertson. Naye, njengengxenye ye-Lemmy, uqophe i-albhamu elandelayo, i-Other Perfect Day. Iqoshwe ngendlela emnandi engajwayelekile eqenjini. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, uBrian wavalelisa ngokushesha.

Ngaphandle kokuncipha kokuduma, iqembu le-Motӧrhead liqhubekile nokukhipha i-albhamu entsha njalo eminyakeni emi-2-3, lihlala linjalo. Kodwa ukuvuselelwa kwangempela kweqembu kwenzeka kuphela ekuqaleni kwekhulu leminyaka.
